The Kunal Kapoor-starrer Veeram will open the the first-ever BRICS Film Festival to be held at the Siri Fort Auditorium between September 2 and 6 this year.
The BRICS Film Festival will be followed by the 8th BRICS Summit which will take place in Goa on October 15 and 16. BRICS includes countries like Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa.
A spectacular, larger than life magnum opus period drama set in the 13th century Kerala, Jayaraj Nair's Veeram resuscitates the real life character made famous through folklore literature and songs. The film spans the journey of Chandu (Kunal), a Kalaripayattu warrior who meets a tragic end as an outcome of betrayal.
Says Kunal, "I'm very excited that we are premiering at the first BRICS Film Festival. We've put a lot of effort into making this film and I'm really looking forward to seeing how the audience reacts to it."
Talking about his film opening the festival, six times National Award winning director Jayaraj says, "I am happy and proud in presenting the first screening of my latest movie Veeram, an adaptation of Shakespeare's Macbeth especially in this quadri-centennial of the great writer. The BRICS honour makes Veeram proud of Shakespeare, Kalari, Kunal and the team members."
Veeram will be releasing later this year and has been shot in three different languages - Hindi, English and Malayalam with plans to further dub it in Tamil and Telugu.
